Divers have begun the third phase of the rescue of a youth soccer team trapped for more than two weeks in a flooded cave in northern Thailand and aim to bring out the last four boys and their coach Tuesday, the top rescue official said.

He said one of the other four boys sent to the hospital on Monday has irregular heart beats, but every one is in high spirits and happy to get out.

They are still being quarantined from their parents because of the risk of infection and would likely be kept in hospital for a week to undergo tests, officials said. As with the previous rescue efforts, 19 divers have gone into the cave, with two divers escorting each of the boys out of the cave with tethers.

Richard Harris, a world-renowned medic and diver whose presence in the dramatic rescue of the Wild Boars squad was specially requested by experts, was reportedly the last person to leave the water-logged cavern on Tuesday. It is believed the youngest child, aged 11, was one of the last to be freed, although it was the boys' 25-year-old coach who was the last to be rescued.

"All five will be brought out at the same time today", he said, to cheers from reporters and rescue workers.

Jesada said the first four taken out are eating well.

Classmates of the trapped boys at Mae Sai Prasitsart school, close to the caves, pray after their teacher announced that more of the footballers had been rescued.

Four boys and the coach are still trapped deep inside, and authorities have indicated they're continuing with their so-far successful effort to bring the boys out guided by experienced divers.

"Doctors have treated the boys and now all of them are okay and cheerful".

"Early this morning Harry's father passed away here in Adelaide. after they'd all come out of the cave", said on Wednesday, Andrew Pearce of rescue service MedSTAR in the Australian city, where Harris, also known as Harry, is a specialist.

The final part of the operation to rescue a boys' football team from a cave in Thailand has begun.
